note: as for the tibet trip, my dad just found out that his friend who is a former reporter, is planning to take a group of photographers (whom some of my parents know) to tibet for a month expedition with nomadic tribes in may. there's a slot open for me to join in... that's an unique opportunity something not to be missed. however; due to my involvement in my friend's wedding on may 15th, i can't join the expedition. in my vision with this group, i could learn a few trades with the tribal groups, and sleep in an open grassland with them. observe what their primitive nomadic lives are all about. i'm feeling distraught about this opportunity :-( plus my dad's friend feels it's his LAST trip to tibet as he's getting too old and can't withstand its 36 grueling hours of offroading to tibet from his hometown, chengdu. i hope this rare opportunity to hang out with tibetian tribes will come up for me again soon in the future.
